Chapter 154 Decision-making(2/3)

"Secondly, we need to ensure smooth communication and transportation. Assam is located in the northeastern part of India. The only connection point with the central government is the narrow Siliguri Corridor. Once communication is disconnected and transportation collapses, the state will be completely isolated from the world.

', it will fend for itself. Therefore, I suggest that the Department of Transportation communicate with the central government as soon as possible and use railways to transport food and medical supplies across borders to maintain sufficient supplies."

"Then, the medical aspect can be based on the hierarchical treatment ladder of disaster medical rescue. The first level is on-site rescue, and experienced medical staff are organized to set up a frontline rescue team to search and find the wounded, and guide self-rescue and mutual rescue; the second level is early treatment, temporary

In areas with severe disasters, temporary medical treatment is set up to provide early treatment and classification of the wounded who are sent to the scene; the third-level transport and rear hospital treatment mainly accept the follow-up treatment of the wounded from the front, and the focus of the work is to implement specialist treatment, intensive care and psychological care.

Guidance.”

Regarding this point, in fact, Gu Ji mentioned it as early as the previous state government hospital.

The hierarchical treatment medical system originated from the Russian Academy of Military Medical Sciences during World War I, and subsequently attracted the attention of military health officials in many countries. In 1965, Xia Guo introduced the concept of step treatment into the wartime and disaster medical rescue system, and made it

It’s called graded treatment.

"And lastly, I suggest that the National Police Agency immediately organize police and firefighters to be ready for emergency and disaster relief work, implement traffic control, and restrict the movement of road vehicles. If necessary, it should seek assistance from the central cabinet government and military region troops and send additional troops to assist.

For disaster relief, the military has rapid response capabilities and high mobility, and its execution capabilities far exceed those of the police and firefighters. After major natural disasters occur, they often respond the fastest and play an important role in reducing losses, saving lives, and stabilizing people's hearts.

effect."

If I was just surprised before when Gu Ji proposed to divert the people's strategy, now I am completely shocked.

Even Fatima stayed aside for a long time.

The reason why they were shocked was not only Gu Ji's control over the details of the emergency response plan, but also the fact that there were many angles that they did not dare to think of!

That's right.

In fact, the disaster prevention experience Gu Ji added is not a very clever method in Xia State and internationally. It is just thinking about the problem by standing on the shoulders of giants.

But why can't these state government officials think of it?

The reason is simple: institutional restrictions!

For world-class powers, the government needs to have the ability to pool resources, that is, strong mobilization capabilities, because only in this way can resources be mobilized to the maximum extent to respond to national disasters.

The basis of this is that the country must have a strong central government. This is the core, because only a strong central government can gather local forces and form a joint force. In India, due to complex reasons such as ethnicity and religion, the central government has relatively limited control.

The local states are unwilling to obey.

Especially remote minority areas like Assam are basically difficult to control.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the Minister of Transportation never considered reporting the matter to the central government for material allocation.

Another point worth mentioning is the military's disaster relief.

The purpose and purpose of the military of all countries around the world is to protect the lives and property of their own people and to respond to wars waged by other countries. In special times, the military can also serve as a rescue force.

In the Xia Kingdom, it is very common for special police, armed police, and the army to be involved in rescue and disaster relief. However, in Western countries, the army generally does not undertake disaster relief tasks. When forest fires broke out in Australia before, the Australian government tried to mobilize its own army to provide disaster relief.

It was clearly rejected by the Australian military because they were not professional firefighters and could easily be injured. In the end, Australia had to apply for international assistance and let international professional firefighting teams put out the fire.

Including the U.S. military, which is often unwilling to participate in disaster relief. Due to the federal system, the military cannot be used domestically at will. Compared with the federal military, which has weak "business capabilities", is cumbersome to mobilize, and has political risks, state and state governments are often more willing to use guards.

Team.

The same goes for India.

Their military strength is limited. Excluding the troops deployed in border areas and the reserve forces retained within India, the actual number of troops that can be mobilized is very small. Coupled with institutional problems, the military rarely intervenes in disaster relief, and state governments are unwilling to ask for help.

Therefore, Gu Ji's proposals seemed a bit "daring" in their eyes.

The chief minister was silent for a while before coughing twice to relieve the embarrassment.

"Vidi's proposal is worth pondering. We must pay close attention to changes in the weather and environment, and prepare materials, transportation, and meteorology. The two ministers will be responsible for communicating with the central government. The minister of agriculture must actively cooperate. As for asking the military for help, it still needs to be done again.

Discussion, okay, this meeting is over, all departments will act according to the strategies immediately, and I will ask the secretary to send the specific action plan to you!"

"yes!"

Many county magistrates and ministers shouted in unison.

Before leaving, many ministers looked at Gu Ji specifically and seemed to complain that he was putting extra burden on themselves. Even his cheap boss, the Minister of Agriculture, didn't bother to care about him.

But in fact, Gu Ji's arrangement is still not a foolproof strategy.

Not to mention that the army cannot be involved in disaster relief, even if the chief minister agrees to contact the military, the role that the Indian army can play is limited. First, India's infrastructure is very poor, there are few transportation lines, and flood control facilities are weak. Second, the army lacks dedicated personnel.

Emergency and disaster relief training.

In Gu Ji's impression, the militaries of many countries in the world are only used for fighting, and rescue and disaster relief belong to the concept of "military operations other than war." Only the militaries of major countries emphasize the ability to perform diversified tasks, such as humanitarian response to disasters.

Rescue, perform peacekeeping missions, impose sanctions, show force, etc.

Therefore, when the Indian army goes to disaster relief, at most it is to rescue people, and it is fundamentally unable to intercept and prevent floods.

The conference room quickly emptied out.

Only a few people from the Disaster Management Department were left at the scene. The minister pursed his lips and looked at the handsome Gu Ji, feeling more and more that he was not simple.

As a department established specifically for disaster prevention and control in India, it is not a good choice to serve as a minister.

Based on just a few words and strategies from Gu, he concluded that this guy had a lot of experience in crisis management. The most important thing was that he had an international perspective and could transfer advanced international disaster relief experience to India.

If we can really use this disaster relief to transform India's current somewhat backward disaster management system.

That is such a big event worth celebrating!

So much so that the Minister of Disaster Management started to compete for talents.

"My name is Anurag. I am the Minister of Disaster Management Department of Assam. I like your performance at the meeting. You have real skills and are not afraid of offending people. Are you interested in coming to the Disaster Management Department? I plan to let you work with me."

Fatima has set up a frontline disaster investigation team to be responsible for real-time investigation of the heavy rain disaster caused by the tropical depression."

"Of course I am willing, but minister, my current job..."

"Don't worry, I will come forward to talk to the Department of Agriculture about job relocation. In extraordinary times, you can join the investigation team first!"

"Thank you, Minister, for confirming that I will definitely complete the task!"

Gu Ji clasped his hands together and pretended to be excited.

Anurag smiled and shook his head, then turned and left.

Fatima and Gu Ji were the only two people left at the scene.

"Now we officially meet, hello, Fatima."

"Vidi."

Because there are differences between men and women in India, handshakes are not popular, so when he saw the other person clasping his hands, Gu Ji followed suit.

Since the minister has arranged for the two of them to cooperate.

Fatima took the initiative to take the documents:

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Mr. Vidi. I admire your professional knowledge. Since you said so much at the meeting, do you have any suggestions and directions for our investigation in the future?"

"It really does."

As Gu Ji walked out of the building with Fatima, he said: "I actually forgot to mention something in the meeting just now, which is to cooperate with the military on the early warning mechanism. Human prediction of disasters can only rely on experience. What we observe with our eyes is always

They are all partial and lack integrity and precision."

“The military has a huge reconnaissance and surveillance system and is highly sensitive to natural disasters, especially man-made disasters. The U.S. Northern Command, which is responsible for homeland security, has its meteorological department to analyze and study weather changes every day.

In addition to providing operational reference, it also cooperates with the civil meteorological department to conduct real-time monitoring of hurricanes, heavy rains, hail, etc., and the Indian Navy is also equipped with powerful disaster early warning equipment. Before the Indian Ocean tsunami, it was the Indian Navy that first discovered the tsunami, so..."

"So you want me to contact the Navy?"

Fatima immediately grasped the crux of the problem.

Gu Ji nodded.

"Okay, so what are you going to be responsible for?"

"I plan to go north to Guwahati and the vicinity of the Brahmaputra River basin. The Minister of Water Resources just said that the dam is discharged normally, but I always feel that the current rainfall has far exceeded the discharge limit of the dam.

speed."

"Are you worried the dam will burst?"

After seeing Gu Ji's stern expression, Fatima immediately agreed, "Okay, let's go separate ways and contact you by phone at any time!"

The two separated at the door of the state government building.

Gu Ji returned to the car and pulled out a map of Assam.

Guwahati is a city on the left bank of the Brahmaputra River in Assam, India. It is also an important transportation hub in the state. It is the main railway line from Sadiya to northern India and the oil pipeline from Assam to Barauni.

Passing by, there is also the airport terminal.

Dispur is less than 50 kilometers from Guwahati.

Although it was dangerous to drive at this time, he couldn't care less. He started the vehicle, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed out of the government compound.

Continuous rains have caused water accumulation in the town of Dispur.

Fortunately, after the crisis management meeting, all departments took action, and he finally saw the Indian police on the road maintaining order. Most of the local people were arranged by the police to stay above the second floor or on the roof.

Location.

But on the way he saw a few more salvaged bodies.
